Cheese

With our headquarters in the heart of the Dairyland, we take pride in our high standards for cheese and cheese products. We have a portfolio of customizable cheese ingredient blends designed to enhance your product’s flavor, texture, consistency, and shelf life. Whether you need anti-caking agents for shredded cheese, a boost in nutritional benefits, or a cost-effective alternative, we have you covered.

Shredded

Shredded cheese is a food service and household staple. Consumer preferences and purchasing decisions are based on how your product looks, melts, holds up in storage, and, of course, how it measures up in quality and flavor innovation. 

Select Custom Solutions will work with you on cheese shred melt performance and long-standing aesthetics and freshness. Capstone anti-caking agents provide a protective barrier amongst cheese particles, thereby helping to maintain individual cheese piece integrity, discourage clumping throughout the product shelf-life, and aid in mold inhibition. We can customize formulations to meet your exact application needs and label preferences.

Sauces

Produce cheese sauces with outstanding texture, flavor, and functional properties! Utilize Keystone specialized stabilizers to control moisture content, develop creaminess, and perfect viscosity. Cornerstone’s high gel and water immobilization properties can help reduce fat in sauces while building strong body and texture. 

Dips

Creamy, cheesy dips are a crowd favorite. If you want to be confident in the performance and receptiveness of your nacho, salsa con queso, and cheddar cheese dips, build your formulation foundation with Select Custom Solutions’ dairy ingredients.

For product perfection, look no further than Cornerstone functional proteins and Keystone stabilizer systems. Both help to deliver unique outstanding gelling and water-binding properties — plus emulsion stability — to create the body and consistency consumers expect from a cheese dip, even with reduced fat! Work with our in-house food scientists to discover how our ingredient solutions can work for you.

Cold Pack and Spreads

Utilize Keystone stabilizer systems and Cornerstone protein products to develop your cold-pack cheese and cheese spreads. Your process (time, temperature, technique) is the foundation we use when developing ingredient systems for your finished products. We offer specialized Keystone stabilizers and Cornerstone proteins that deliver optimum texture, flavor, viscosity, and moisture control to your formulation.

Processed

Select Custom Solutions can help you to create a smooth and homogeneous — shelf-stable or refrigerated—processed cheese blend for domestic and export customers. Our Keystone stabilizer systems enhance the melting, mouthfeel, and texture characteristics that processed cheese consumers crave. Keystone stabilizers prevent separation in the melting process and allow for a consistent finished product.

Natural

In countries where cheese manufacturers fortify their starting milk in cheese making, improve your natural cheese yields with Cornerstone. Utilize Cornerstone as a milk extender in your manufacturing process and increase your yields while maintaining nutritional benefits and superb texture. Cornerstone provides a cost-effective way to create exceptional natural cheeses!
